Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Abergavenny who completed the legal work two years ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a home loan from Chelsea Building Society. It looks as though am now being charged twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?

I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Abergavenny and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Abergavenny. Having lived in Abergavenny for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
